timpopkid Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 If we counted the number of bands I was familiar with in the lists posted, tim's would be near the top for me. That flavor of music used to be what 80% of people on here were into in the early days. It's slowly shifted more mainstream, especially in the SRC years. Great, another reminder that I'm old, thanks!

Derek™ Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 While I agree that Yeezus isn't worth a fraction of the Top-10 hype that it's been garnering - and that Kanye is indeed laughably arrogant and pompous - I'd also say it's silly to critique (or dismiss) music based off the musician's personality. Look no further than 3EB and #Jenkins. stl_ben and plasma36 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backpackoat Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Not a single mention of Nine Inch Nails Hesitation Marks. I find that really disturbing. I find it strange too, although admittedly it's not even on my top 10. I didn't spend enough time with it. I think it's like #15 on my list.

I think it's like #15 on my list. I found that album extremely enlightening as a longtime NIN fan and someone who's gotten through his own drug addictions from the past. I am very, very glad that Trent found some peace after all he's been through. This is one artist that I didn't want to see get himself killed and his newest music is just a reminder of why I didn't want that to happen. The guy is a musical visionary. backpackoat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Def a solid contender... one of my top rap albums this year really fell down the hole for me, maybe because it came out so early in the year, but Kanye, Danny Brown, Run The Jewels, and I think a few more easily surpassed it as the year went on.
